that's the rulling government. The ones that are protecting them. The Empire never invaded Allderaan why would they think that it would?
EDIT Oh wait this is even better you're trying to say that they had a planetary shield because they knew the empire would blow them up with a death star.
The senate was disbanded before Tarkin even thought about blowing up Alderaan. Had you actually watched the movie, you would have known this.
Woooshh that went right over your head. Yes the Imperial senate was disbanded at the begining of the movie. However for the past what 19 years Allderaan had been part of the Empire. Delaware isn't afraid that the US government is going to come in and occupy it. Why? Because its part of The United States.
Some of the most anti-Imperial senators came from Alderaan. The world was a thorn in the side of the Empire, which is why Tarkin chose it instead of a supposed Rebel base on Dantooine
got a canon source for most of the anti inmperial senators came from Alderaan? All we know is that one anti Imperial diplomat came from there.
No the reason he wanted Allderaan instead of Dantoonie was because Dantoonie was too remote to demonstrate the power of the Death Star to the rest of the galaxy. He wanted to destroy a core world to prove no one was safe and they were willing to destroy an important planet.
You would know that if you understood the movies you watched.
We never see Allderaan attacked BEFORE it is destroyed you idiot. You know if they had been attacked before we could understand why they would need a shield.
Are you always this stupid?
oh hey look no shield.
